Employee planning a resignation
Resignation timing silently decides real money - unvested equity, bonus eligibility, 401(k) matching, insurance gaps, PTO payout rules - and employees discover the losses after the date is set.
- Trigger
- Leaving days before a vesting cliff or bonus date forfeits amounts that dwarf any negotiation gain, and it happens constantly.
- Budget
- Flat per-exit fee; employer-neutral positioning.
